3 Maps from Winter and School

**Samstego** · 01-21-2018, 01:51 PM

So here's what I've worked on over the break. First, a last minute Christmas present I made for my brother, who is a huge fan of the Redwall series. I based it off this map here and some of the maps from the books (much to my chagrin it seems major landmarks appear to move depending on the book)

Furthermore, I loved the mountains of Dalanard and used them for this. Wish I could have done it justice.

My brother added the Abbey himself

So I can get nervous when classes start, especially when I don't know many people. Also some classes are boring. To distract myself I've been doing these small little things, not sure what to call them. Here's two, I'm currently working on a third. As such, I should state that I really have no idea what I'm doing, and have zero artistic background. If anyone can point my way to how to actually shade things and jazz, that'd be much appreciated.

Hope you all had a good break.

I know the feeling... I used to do the sam in class.. except it was some 30 years ago (my god...) as the time passed, I discovered drawing helped me to focus on certain matter in some classes... I hope it’s the same for you ?
Maps and landscapes are good companion, I find...
P
Anyway, your drawings are very good quality and beautiful imagination !
I wouldn’t know what to add or change... maybe a horizon line on the one with the island ? That would help fixing the whole island in the whole picture, I think !

Anyway, keep up the good drawings ! Oh ! ... and, of course, listen in class.... and talk to some people from time to time... if necessary !
